which is that feeling you get when you find yourself clicking links
within links within links within links -- feeding your mind with so
much interesting stuff (nearly satisfying so many of your curiosities

Yeah, well, addictions come and go with me. My latest one is called
"getting a higher education." Maybe I'll be a college dean one day.
Heh.

I'd rather say that I have a wide variety of interests and only so
much time to dedicate to each one. :-)

In this case, structured college educational instruction that goes
beyond a bachelor's degree. I do not make the mistake of equating
higher in this case with good or better or useful, even, though in
some instances it is. It's just a necessary step to achieving the goal
I've set for myself.

Sometimes I think so, other times I think I'm nuts for wanting to
place myself in a position that could bring me the kind of headaches
it would bring me. But I get so frustrated sometimes with the
inefficiency and lack of respect for those in lower echelons of the
organization who could bring much needed insight into how things could
be better because they live in the trenches. That's not always the
case, but often enough for disgruntlement to set in. I wonder if I
could make a difference were I in a higher position of authority.

Thanks. We certainly had fun making them. In the one video where the
tutor says, "He is most cheated who cheats himself," I always crack up
because the tutor had a very heavy Spanish accent, and when he
initially spoke the line it came out, "He is most shitted who shits
himself," which of course set off great merriment among us all during
filming.
